ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE 
PROGRAM COMMITTEE 



I. The program committee is particularly anxious that the 
papers presented at this Congress shall deal largely with results 
secured through the practical application of scientific facts and 
procedures of school hygiene, and with the results of scientific 
investigation and laboratory research. Teachers, investigators, 
physicians, dentists, sanitarians and public-spiirited citizens who 
have evidence showing that the school hygiene under their ob- 
servation has been effective and of real service, or who can pre- 
sent scientific facts proven by their labors, will be welcome con- 
tributors. 

II. The committee is further anxious to secure papers re- 
lating to Rural School Hygiene and Village School Hygiene as 
well as to City School Hygiene. The problems of the city schools 
have received a great deal of much deserved attention. The very 
serious problems of the village school and the rural school have 
received but little attention. The study and the solution of 
these problems are of obvious complexity and importance. 

ni. The following rules have been established by the pro- 
gram committee: 

1. The official languages of this Congress shall be 
English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. 

2. Papers must be limited to fifteen minutes in pres- 
entation. 

3. Manuscripts submitted for publication in the Pro- 
ceedings must not exceed three thousand words. 

4. Time will be assigned on each program for the 
open discussion of groups of related papers. 

5. Individuals participating in the open discussion 
may be limited to three minutes each, and such discus- 
sion may be determined at the discretion of the pre- 
siding officer. This rule is laid down for the purpose 
of enabling the presiding officer to put his schedule 
through on time. Preliminary abstracts will not be 
published. 

6. Authors are requested to send in their manuscripts 
early. All such manuscripts must be in the hands of 
the Secretary-General by July i, 19 13. 



7- The Program Committee reserves the right to re- 
ject any contribution which for any reason it feels 
should not be accepted. 

8. Papers will not be read in absentia, but such papers 
may be published in the Proceedings. 

9. Exceptions to these rules may be made only with 
permission from the Program Committee. 

IV. The Program will be organized into sections, as follows: 
These sections will be subdivided whenever such division appears 
to be desirable. 

Section i. "The Hygiene of School Buildings, 
Grounds, Material Equipment and Up-keep.'' This 
section will include papers on topics related to the loca- 
tion, plan, construction, equipment and up-keep of city,
